THE 1. s. c. LAW.

An exchange thinks that the serious point
in the Interstate Commerce bill is that il
d'scriminates against the West and the
South and in favor of the thickly settled
Eastern and Middle States. There, where
the population is larger and distances much
smaller, the long and short haul clause is
not OF such special Importance, but in the
agricultural regions of the West and South,
where the markets and the supply depots
are hundreds of miles apart, it is a grave
matter. The South has already obtained
temporary relief, and other roads have also
made application. San Francisco is par.
ticularly excited, and a strong appeal has
gone East from California.
Thsre is no doubt but that the railways
should be regulated, but, in the present
condition OF affairs, the matter is a very
serious one, and revolutionary methods
not be adopted. 1t is a pretty big
job for five men to regulate the entire rail-
way system of the country, and the indica.
tions are that their work will be more or
less advisory for some time to come. It
will take them a year to fully understand
the situation, and the many local details
which must be grasped before intelligent
rulings can be made There are so mapy
differing conditions in the world OF traffic /
that the utmost caution will have to be ex- |
ercised, and the commission seems dis. |
posed to use it. The suspicious a~lacrity |
with which the railways made the measure
a pretext for raising rates has not created
any friendly feelings.

At the ensuing city election the voters of

ability, integrity and influence, either of
whom would be elected if nominated by the
Democratic Convention.
Judge Wilcox is named by many of his
friends for police magistrate, and Judge
Mediation for city attorney. Both gentle
men have made acceptable officers, the
former having presided over the police
court several terms and the latter being
tho present dispenser Of justice at that
place. They are strong men and if nomi-
mated for those offices their calling and
election" is assured.
For the Office Of marshal. the present in
cumbsnt, Mr.. Jack Jolly and the very ef-
fcient and popular chief OF police, Mr..
Thomas Cody, are named. Mr.. Jolly has
proven an excellent officer. while unstinted
praise is awarded to Mr.. Cody for his faith
fulness and ability in discharging the du-
ties OF his position. Either would have a
walk over for the Office.
It ID. presumed that other candidates for
the several Offices will be named. The

s~AL1sBURY,s BRIDE.

Lord Salisbury has made q novel offer to
the United States Government. Under the
Halifax fisheries award made som time
ago the United States finds itself indebted
to Great Britain in the sum OF something
81, 500. 200. The last Congress passed
what is termed a retaliatory law, which
provides that the President in case the
Canadian Government shall impose un-
necessary hardships on American fisher
men, he may prohibit the Importation of
Canadian products, including fish. into the
United States. This is something the
Canadians were not looking for. It put
the handle on the other side of the Jug or
at least changed the condition OF things so
that the United States Government had
some redress when indignitis were offered
it's citizens.
The position in which the Canadian Gov
eminent finds itself placed by this law is
an embarrassing one. It cannot tell what
it's c~ruizers may do to offend this Govern
ment or at what moment the President
may issue a proclamation forbidding the
landing of Canadian products into the
ports Of the United States. In this emer-
gency Lord Salisbury comes forward with
his offer. He proposes to remit this award,
thus squaring accounts with the United
States Government if the latter will con-
sent that the old order OF things shall pre-
vail; or in other words he will give 81, $780,
900 if the President will not enforce the
law.
The London Times thinks %Salisbury's
offer is generous and almost quixotic"
and that America will not refuse to take
advantage OF what it costs her nothing to
sentiment which will not be
adopted ON this side of the Allan.
tic. The retaliatory law may be likened to |
The sword OF Damocles hanging over the
head of the Canadian government. It puts
! powerful weapon into the hands OF the
President which he may render terribly
by the stroke of a pen. It should
emain there. Salisbury's bribe-for his
'ffer is simply a bribe-should be ignored.
Dhe law referred to gives this government
he whip hand and it should not be Welded

DEATH OF MAYOR BLAINE.

The death OF John E. Blaine, United
States paymaster, removes one OF the best
known mon in the Territory. Mr.. Blaine
was q brother OF General Blaine and through
his influence he was appointed Surveyor
General of Montana sixteen years ago.
After holding the position four years he
was commissioned paymaster OF the
United States army in this Territory with
the rank.of Mayor and stationed at Helena.
With the exception Of a year or two he has
since lived in that city. Mr.. Blaine was
an intelligent, genial, companionabIe gen.
tleman and counted among his warmest
friends some OF the most prominent men
in the Territory. His death was not entirely
unlocked for the nature OF his malady
being such as to lead those who were ac-
quainted with it to the conclusion that it
might terminate fatally. He leaves a very
interesting family, consisting OF his wife
and three children to mourn his loss. They
have tho sincere sympathy OF a host of
Montana friends in their great bereave-

WHAT REID SAID.
The Now York Tribune Editor Fnllv
E%xDlAins

The Now York Tribune Editor Fully
Explains.
CINCINNATI, April 22.-Interviewed by an
Associated Press reporter to-day, Richard
Smith denied the truth of the report pub
l1shed in Eastern papers thai he had re-
celved a letter from Whitelaw Reid in which
the latter said the Tribune had arrived at
the conclusion to abandon Blaine for the
nomination for the Presidency and sup
port John Sherman. Smith said he re-
ceived no such letter. but admitted that in
a conversation with Reid the latter said
he would support Sherman with the
greatest pleasure if, when the time
came, 1T be thought the best nominee.
Smith said further. %hoevwer, that when he
started to leave Reid's Office, the editor of
the Tribune said: Hold on now, / want
to say one thing more. I want to tell Won
further that if we unite fully with you and
with all your friends in an effort to nnmin-
ate any OF these men you named, and the
convention to be held within a month. the
whole lot OF US, with all the power we
could bring to bear, could not prevent the
nomination OF Blaine by acclamation."

Democrats have a duty to perform in
the ensuing campaign. In the first place
they should register. In the second place
they should attend the primary meetings
and see that none but good representative
men be selected as delegates to the city
convention. This will insure a strong
ticket to be placed before the people OF
Butte. In the third place they should at
tend the polls, work for the candidates and
see that they are elected. Personal differ
snces and prejudices should cut no figure in
the casting Of their votes. Democrats
vote for principles and to preserve their
organization intact rather than for men.
By doing this victory will be assure !.
Draw the line distinctly. Keep the columns
closed, permit no struggling of members,
vote solidly and the whole ticket will be
elected and the morale OF the party will be |
preserved.

Lieutenant Governor Jones, OF New

RETURNING FEARS.

II cannot be questioned that for at least
twenty-four hours the Republicans oil the
country ~werehappy. They believed that
in Cleveland's withdrawal from the Presi.
Dental race they saw the election OF a Re.

by Mr.. Cleveland's own denial of the canard
and doubts and fears again possess them,
Intelligent Republicans believe that if the
issues OF the next compaign were to be only
those OF the last-namely bloody shirt.
tariff Tor surplus and protection, aud the
personal dishonor OF the Republican candi-
date-the Mugwump vote, with heavy &C.
c%essions, would carry the Democratic
nominee triumphantly. But in fact the
conditions OF the campaign will be radically
charged. The Republican candidate will
be, no doubt, a personally clean man. The
Republican platform will contain a tariff
reform plank, and their candidate will
persuade many of the simple-minded that
this time it is not put there to be broken.
Ii these issues were all we are to see, the
orators would haven no need to supply them
selves with new ideas, and the venerable
appeals, around which so many fond asso-
Citations cluster, would serve again.
But there will be more in the campaign
than all this comes to. The uncertain
vote will be reinforced by two |
other uncertain votes, which are causing 4

Every vote cast far a Labor nom.
Inee must come from either a Democratic or

ore the unhappy politician, and the fences
of this broad and fair land are now burden

Meantime the organization of the KNIGHTS
ot Labor is gaining in conference and disci-

The knights will be felt at the next Pres.

The intensity OF feeling that enters into
the contest against coercion in Ireland is
evinced by the occurrences of Friday night
in the House OF Commons. The turmoil
in that habitually orderly body reflects the
aeitated state OF public feeling, not only
IN Ireland. but in every part of each OF the
three kingdoms of Great Britain. The
p~rovocation to the unseemly recent dis
was all on the side of the Govern
ment. whose spokesman was arrogant, in
tolerant and abusive, without occasion or
excuse. 1t is singular that, while the men,
bers OF Parliament thus descend to wranp-
ling and threats of personal alterations.
a conspicuous example of f~orbearance and
order should be shown by the enormous
mass OF Londoners recently gathered in
Hyde Park. Patience as well as sound
reason seems to be on the side of the peo-
in this great contention.-N. Y. Star.

New YORK, April 22.-The Mail and Elk

launched another bolt at the friends and
supporters OF DR.. McGlynn. The Catholic
Herald has been a staunch supporter OF
McGlynn and has directed some fierce as
saults upo n the archbishop and Mer.
PRESTON. Now the archbishop has struck
back. He has addressed a letter to the
editor OF the Herald in which he calls
attention to the fact that as the Herald
assumes to be a Catholic paper, it must
obey the injunction which the third plenary
council placed on all Catholic writer's to
refrain from attacking publicly
the manner in which any Bishop
rules his diocese. He concludes his
in the following significant clause:
For some time past the utterances oil the
Catholic Herald have been shockingly
as this paper is published in
the diocese, | hereby warn you that if you
in this course ofconduct, it will be
your peril" If this warning is not obeyed
he Journal in question will be publicly de-
bounced from every Catholic pulpit in the
city. As this is the first time for many
years that any American Catholic journal
has been condemned, this case will cause
vide comment.

The MINER would again urge Democrats
to be careful in their selection OF delegates
to the City Convention. Like delegates
like candidates. is an old political axiom
which applies to city as well as to State
nominations. With earnest, conscientious
men as delegates, who value the welfare of
the party and the people more than the
interests OF men, a ticket would be put in
the field which would be elected by a sweep
ing majority. The city is Democratic, and
nothing short OF inexcusable laundering on
the part OF the Convention can wrest it
from the party.

The Democratic primaries will be held
next Tuesday and the convention the
Thursday following. As it is really at the
primaries where candidates are nominated,
it behooves every Democrat to exert him
self in the endeavor to elect representative
men as delegates to the convention. If
there is any ''kicking' to be done it should
be done at the primaries and not after the
nomination OF candidates.

That it is an ill wind which blows no one
good is illustrated by the fact that the
Piegan Indians, of Montana, it is said,
have made about 81, ZOO this spring skin

cents for every hide that they brought in,
and they exhibited such industry that it

right of resistance. But resistance is a
question OF expediency, and is always to
be judged as to whether more can be gained
in that way than in another way. At this
moment for Ireland to revolt would be to
play into the hands of the Tory party.
Salisbury could afford to dance q jig if the
Irish should do any act that would justify
